Question: What Products Are Illegal In My Country?

Answer: To be honest, we are not 100% sure. It is nearly impossible to keep up with all the laws in every country around the world. They also change very often. The best idea would be to contact your local government or check out their web sites for laws and restrictions. We will ship almost ANY product to any country, but if the product is returned or destroyed, the responsibility is yours. We will do our part and follow your directions. We will ship the products that you order to the address you provide! We will also ship discreetly in order to protect your privacy. If you have documentation regarding the entry of a banned product into your country, email Exports@Bodybuilding.com and we will do our best to make that product available to you!

We do have a list of products that we will not ship to certain countries. View Country Restrictions.
